Sesame Cauliflower Recipe

I have always loved cauliflower, even before it became the trendiest veggie around.  While I almost always opt for simple grilling or roasting with olive oil, salt, and pepper; every once in awhile I like to mix things up and try something new.  Recently when I had plans to make this teriyaki flank steak for dinner, I knew I wanted to pair it with some cauliflower but I wanted to spice it up to match the flavors in the steak. Adding sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and Sriracha was the perfect solution.

1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees or the grill.

2

Mix together the olive oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, ginger, and Sriracha if using.

3

Toss with the cauliflower and place on a prepared baking sheet. If grilling, I recommend grilling on a piece of foil or in a grill basket.

Roast for 30 minutes, turning once or twice during cooking. Grilling takes 5-7 minutes per side.

Top with cilantro to serve.
